“APU offers a highly diversed community in a professional environment which brings out the best version
of yourself. The broad networking experience was useful for me as I had the chance to know people
with different cultures from various countries and nationality. Not to forget the very helpful and friendly
accounting and finance lecturers that always encourages their students in anytime. The academic
knowledge I learnt in class is essential, but a great skillset is what most needed by most employers.
Through various workshops, seminars, extracurricular activities, practical studies and other various out-

“Apparently, enrolling with APU has been a delightful journey in shaping myself into a well-rounded person
both physically and mentally. With the professional learning environment being implemented along with the
inspiration that come from lecturers who valued creativity and respect criticism, I am allowed to free my minds,
widen my horizons and truly express myself. In fact, they have also enlightened me to consider so many more non-
traditional career paths than I ever thought of. Nevertheless, I am especially thankful to the presentation, group
assignments, workshops and seminars that help to provoke my thinking as well as improve my communication
skills at APU.”
Chong Yee Voon (Malaysia)

“Learning at APU does not only give me the knowledge in textbooks, APU also focuses on imparting soft skills to
students through various guest lectures, events & workshops. Therefore, students can easily get a good job after
graduation. The English-speaking environment has helped me to develop my skills in the language. I am very
grateful that APU has provided us with such a good learning environment and helped me a lot in my profession.”
WOODUN DHANDEVI (Mauritius)
BSc (Hons) in Actuarial Studies, Class of 2018,
MSc in Data Science & Business Analytics, Class of 2019
Junior Actuarial Analyst - Actuarial Partners Consulting
“Owing to the fact that APU offers a remarkable academic environment and interdisciplinary initiatives, I would
heartily recommend the university to other students. The institution also proven its track record of employable
graduates. To be honest, I was primarily attracted by these outstanding specifics of the university. Studying
Actuarial Science is challenging, but the level and content of the lectures immensely enable students to
understand the modules and to succeed the exams with flying colors.
Coupled to these, APU is affiliated with the Society of Actuaries and Institute Faculty of Actuaries, which eventually
empowers us with the professional papers. APU outstands itself from other universities for its academic facilities,
resources as well as its student support services, without which life at APU would not have been dynamic and
exciting. However, I would not have benefited from all these unique features of the campus if I would not have
obtained the 50% Merit Scholarship of APU. I take this opportunity to pay my gratitude to Asia Pacific University
of Technology and Innovation for its financial support and most significantly for its education. Additionally,
graduating with the Valedictorian Award 2018 supports the hard-work as well as determination that one should
possess in order to achieve and succeed with flying colors.”
Sharafunnisa Binti Ebramsha @ Ebramshaw (Malaysia)
BA (Hons) in Accounting & Finance with a specialism in Forex & Investments , Class of 2019

“One main thing I liked about APU is the multicultural experience I have gained throughout my 4 years journey
in APU. Also, myself being a Student Ambassador, I get to meet diverse people from all around the world and
this allowed me to explore about each of their countries expanding my knowledge further (beside just gaining
education). This enabled me to have high adaptability to different environments which I am now able to apply
in the working world. The degree papers which were exempted from ACCA helped me to continue the rest of
the papers now as I have gained enough basic knowledge and skills on the Fundamental papers. APU has really
molded me well and I am definitely grateful for that!”

“The ultimate three words - Unique Culture, One-of-a-Kind, and Competitive, can be used to describe APU. The lecturers
are very passionate, some of them really push the students beyond the limit and whatever you are able to find out from
the academic notes. We are trained to be efficient, effective and critical at the same time – so that we can cope with risks
and uncertainties that we will face in real working life. Speaking of my current role, critical thinking is, indeed, the most
exciting thing.”

“APU, or previously known as UCTI, is a great university. It is rather unique in the sense that this university actually requires
its students to wear formally for classes. This unique culture creates a professional environment within the campus and I
am glad that my parents enrolled me into this university immediately after the completion of my secondary education.
The high quality education obtained from APU helps me to stand out among other applicants in job application, and I
was offered a job in one of the premier accounting firm immediately upon graduation. Moreover, the knowledge that I
obtained from the bachelor degree programme in APU is also of great help when I sat for my ACCA examination.”

“APU is the completed package to what a university should be. From passionate lecturers, some of whom are genuinely
interested in making the students succeed, to a campus with all the facilities required for a fruitful college life, APU
has played a critical role in shaping the person I am today. The cultural diversity of the students provided a wonderful
opportunity to learn about various cultures and traditions of the world. The enthusiasm of lecturers pushes each
student to reach their highest potential. It is an excellent learning institution that inculcates the spirit of competition,
professionalism and hard work in their students.”

that prepares students for the future and enables them to develop not only professionally, but also personally through
involvement in a wide variety of clubs ranging from sports to literature and many more. It contributes to the enhancement
of skills, knowledge, exposure and experience in the students. APU offers its students a conducive learning environment

knowledge of the industries and their ability to relate it to real-world examples make the classes ever more interesting.
The very multicultural students community enables us to mix around and learn together with students from over 110
countries - and that’s just an amazing experience. Choosing to study at APU was one of the best decisions I ever made!”

“I enjoyed participating in events, that took place almost every week at APU. They allowed us to gain new friendships
with people from different countries and learn about their cultures. The courses provided by APU are also relevant to the
industry and we are equipped with the necessary skillsets by the time we graduate. In addition, APU holds seminars or
conferences almost every month, which these provide students an early exposure to the industry, as well as opportunities
to meet potential employers.”
